Florida Lawyer Accused of Attacking Man, 67, in Wild Ship Brawl

American Pie star Tara Reid filed a police report after she was allegedly drugged at a hotel bar near Chicago. The 50-year-old has said she is now ready to prosecute anyone involved, according to a statement from the Rosemont Public Safety Department. According to Page Six, Reid stated, “I am willing to prosecute,” in the report. It was filed on Tuesday and largely mirrors the claims Reid originally made, according to TMZ. The Big Lebowski star said she had been at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago O’Hare Airport in Rosemont on Saturday when the incident occurred. Reid said she went out for a cigarette with someone claiming to be a successful influencer and left her glass of wine at the bar. When she returned to it, she claims the drink was covered with a napkin. She took a sip, which was the last thing she remembers from that night, she claimed. According to TMZ, her next memory was waking up in the hospital. Footage gathered by a fan from that night shows her shouting at paramedics, “You don’t know who I am. I am famous. I’m an actress.” She attended a 60-day rehabilitation in 2008 and has previously spoken out about her battle with addiction. The Rosemont Public Safety Department is investigating.
An American mountain climber was among two people killed in a horrific fall from New Zealand’s highest and most dangerous peak, authorities announced on Wednesday. The other person killed was a guide. The climbers, part of a four-man team, were scaling Aoraki, also known as Mount Cook, on Monday when the pair of them reportedly slipped and fell to their deaths. The other two members of the team, believed to be a guide and their client, were rescued by helicopter after authorities received a distress call from the climbers late on Tuesday night. The victims’ bodies, who were tied together by rope, were later recovered after an overnight search. Although they have not been publicly identified, Police Area Commander Vicki Walker confirmed one of the deceased was a U.S. national, while the New Zealand Mountain Guides Association identified the other as an internationally-recognized guide. Aoraki, part of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, has a peak of 12,218ft and is known as a challenging climb even for experienced mountaineers. More than 240 deaths have been recorded on the mountain since the start of the 20th century.

A Florida lawyer has been arrested for allegedly punching a 67-year-old man and knocking him unconscious, according to a criminal complaint. Phillip Ortiz, 38, was charged with aggravated battery on a person 65 or older following the incident, the Miami-Dade County filing said. There are conflicting reports about whether the victim was a passenger or part of the Encore crew. “Who the f— are you to tell me what I can and can’t do?” Ortiz allegedly said when told by the man that he couldn’t go down a shut-off corridor. The victim told police Ortiz then pushed him, and when he tried to shove the attorney away, a woman—thought to be his wife—pushed him as well. The man then retreated down the corridor. “The defendant then forced open the door and charged at the victim,” the report said. “The men then began to fight, when the defendant tripped the victim, who landed on his head along with the defendant’s full body weight, causing him to lose consciousness.” While passengers rushed in to perform CPR, Ortiz allegedly did not assist his victim. “My client vehemently denies that he is the primary aggressor,” Stephan Lopez, Ortiz’s attorney, said, according to WSVN. Norwegian told USA Today, “We have zero tolerance for violence of any kind on our ships and are committed to providing a safe cruising experience for all aboard.”
Guy Fieri is recovering from emergency surgery after suffering a severe leg injury on set. The Food Network star, 57, revealed he tore his quadriceps muscle in half after slipping on a staircase while filming his new series, Flavor Town Food Fight. Fieri said the accident happened when he missed a step and his legs split in opposite directions. “I slipped down a set of steps and one foot went forward, and the other foot got caught on the threshold,” he told Fox News Digital. “My right leg compressed into itself. The doctor said in 20 years, he’s never seen a tear right through the biggest, thickest part of the quad.” The chef underwent emergency surgery to prevent the muscle from receding. “You normally tear that muscle at the tendon or tear the tendon off the bone,” he explained. “But this was right in the center of the whole quad muscle, and it exploded.” The injury occurred in the middle of filming, and the cast and crew had to adjust production. Fieri is now using a wheelchair and crutches as he recovers and will need to be off his feet for eight weeks. Despite the setback, he said the team “pivoted” with creative filming techniques, and he is focused on healing while resting at his ranch.

The business world is quietly seeking to rebrand ‘Trump Accounts’ for children as the more politically neutral ‘530A’ instead. The move is an attempt to incentivise parents to use an investment scheme they hope will outlive the current administration. Introduced under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Trump Accounts will see all Americans born between 2025 and 2028 receive $1000 from the Treasury, which will be deposited into a low-cost stock fund they can access when they turn 18. Up to $5,000 a year can be deposited into the accounts, which employers and charities may consider contributing to as a perk for parents. “It’s just a technical, more straightforward name,” Madeline Brown, policy associate at the Urban Institute, said of the 503A rebrand, which has started to gain traction amongst lawyers and policy types. “For the durability of this program, there’s reason to remove politics, and think of it as something that will exist beyond this administration, and to encourage folks to participate.” White House Spokesperson Kush Desai said “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but the fact remains: Only President Trump could’ve secured this historic win to help the next generation of Americans build wealth and achieve prosperity,” Axios reports. More details about how the accounts will work in practice will be revealed before the end of the year, the White House said.
The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) is facing another controversy with an arrest warrant reportedly issued for one of its co-founders. According to a court statement shared with AFP, the South Bangkok Civil Court issued an arrest warrant for Jakkaphong “Anne” Jakrajutatip after she failed to appear for a verdict in a 2023 fraud case. Jakrajutatip and her company, JKN Global Group Public Co. Ltd., were sued in 2023 by plastic surgeon Raweewat Maschamadol, who accused them of persuading him to invest in JKN and causing him to lose 30 million baht ($930,362), according to The Independent. The court said Jakrajutatip, whose company acquired the Miss Universe pageant in 2022, “could be interpreted as fleeing,” and local media have reported she may have traveled to Mexico. She also skipped the Nov. 21 Miss Universe competition in Bangkok, which was rocked by a mass walkout after pageant director Nawat Itsaragrisil called the eventual winner, Mexican contestant Fátima Bosch, “dumb.” Days earlier, judge and Lebanese composer Omar Harfouch quit, alleging the competition was rigged and saying he refused “to be part of this charade.” Earlier this year, MUO said that Jakrajutatip’s case was “entirely separate” from the organization. The Daily Beast has reached out to MUO for comment.
Irish MMA fighter Sinead Kavanagh was reportedly arrested on board a Ryanair flight from Gran Canaria to Dublin after getting into a fight with two Spanish police officers. Spain’s Civil Guard responded to reports of “violent behaviour” from Kavanagh, 39, who is alleged to have “repeatedly struck” two officers while resisting arrest on board the aircraft. She was eventually restrained and detained at the airport’s holding cell. The five-time MMA champion and friend of Conor McGregor has since been released on bail following a court hearing on Monday. Footage of the incident shows police called to remove two “troublesome” women from the flight, only to become embroiled in a tussle with Kavanagh and her companion. The fighter can be seen aggressively resisting arrest and hitting the officers several times, leaving them with injuries severe enough that one needed time off work to recover. “Don’t do this, please!” a woman can be heard screaming during the scuffle. In a statement, the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) wrote, “Two Civil Guards injured after containing a professional MMA fighter. We’re the only defence for citizens, and we are up against professionals who fight with their bare hands and WITHOUT RESOURCES.” A Civil Guard spokesperson refused to confirm the identities of the two passengers, but confirmed arrests had taken place following “a tussle with officers.”
Rachel Zoe is opening up about the end of her 26-year marriage to Rodger Berman. The fashion mogul, 54, revealed that she and the technology entrepreneur had simply become different people by the time they separated in September 2024. The newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Zoe shares details of her divorce on the upcoming Season 15, premiering December 4. “I was done. I was really done,” Zoe said. She filed for divorce in July. The stylist said she does not “suffer from guilt,” claiming “three-quarters [their marriage] was amazing.” The couple met as students at George Washington University in 1991 and married in 1998. They share two sons, Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11. Zoe said the turning point came when she realized she and Berman no longer agreed on major decisions and “on what certain outcomes should be.” She began to question whether staying together was an “advantageous situation for [their] children. “In hindsight, I 100 percent should have left sooner,” she adds, noting that many women feel the same once they finally step away. Zoe said she would urge “women to be independent,” claiming her professional, social, and financial independence allowed her to move on from the marriage.

A massive fire tore through a public housing block in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district on Wednesday, killing at least 12 people and leaving at least 16 others with critical injuries, the South China Morning Post reported. The newspaper said flames spread through bamboo scaffolding covering all eight blocks at Wang Fuk Court, where renovations were underway. The blaze at Wang Fuk Court began shortly after 3 p.m. local time and was upgraded to a No. 5 alarm, the city’s highest severity level, within hours. The dead included a male firefighter, three other men, and eight women, the Post reported. Police said rescue efforts were hampered by the presence of the bamboo scaffolding, which caught fire and trapped people inside the burning buildings. Hong Kong has been under a red fire warning since Monday, indicating an extremely high risk of fire, after a spell of dry weather combined with warm winds.
